Wink Got back from PRI

It was insane There was thousands of vendor's there with a ton of new stuff.Alot of LS1 based product's. I got to talk to alot of people that I deal with which is great.Here is a few thing's that stuck out.

ET heads are incredable and some nice guy's. Looks like some nice 265cc setup's might come this way
CSI -They have a nasty direct drive for Procharger's that requires no belt at all
Precission -Nice boost controller's that will work on some of my projects.
SPEC,Tilton-great new clutches
And a ton of other stuff like solid roller setup's,copper gasket's,brakes,wheels,a ton of new heads ect.

Also would like to thank DynoJet and Combination motorsports for the great time last night at the Gentlemens club I'm still hung over

Don, did you see anything new in lightweight 4th gen F body race wheels w/correct backspacing and some good widths from anyone other than Bogart? Weld or Centerline should get on the bandwagon w/some reasonably priced race wheels that fit w/out spacers, funny-looking offsets, etc... WJ

Nothing on the wheels.This is the reason my 9" is shortened 3" on each end--to fit more common wheels

First of all, it was C&S that made the direct drive piece for the Procharger.
Second, it was a steakhouse, not a gentleman's club, that we were visiting.
At least that's my story.


PS-Is there any place in Florida where they actually do the dance in your lap, or are they all vicinity dances?
I guess we're spoiled in this city.

It was good to finally meet Don(and Brian) in person, he looks older than I thought he would be.
But I guess that's the result of working three jobs.
